Learning Outcomes
After the successful completion of the course the students should be able to:
1) design, in their basic form, the stator and rotor of a synchronous machine so that the created magnetic fields produce the proper electromagnetic torque.
2) Calculate the various electrical parameters and the operating limits of a synchronous machine under steady-state conditions
3) Calculate the behavior of a synchronous machine under symmetrical and non-symmetrical short-circuit conditions at its terminals.
4) Determine the appropriate control on the machine excitation so as to change the reactive power, the magnitude of the voltage and the power factor at the machine terminals.
5) Differentiate the aforementioned methodologies according to the rotor type (cylindrical or salient-pole).
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
Course Content (Syllabus)
Construction elements of SM (construction of rotor, stator, excitation system, cooling system, rotor poles, damper windings). Analysis of elementary SM with emphasis on the magnetic fields within it. How a rotating magnetic field is created. Electromagnetic torque through the interaction of stator and rotor fields. Stator windings that create sinousoidal voltages. Equivalent electric model of SM. Differences between salient and cylindrical rotor machines. Magnetic saturation. Power losses during steady-state operation. Dependence of losses on the machine loading. Synchronization with the grid. Parallel operation of SM feeding an isolated load. Operation principles when connected to an infinite bus. Behaviour of the SM during balanced and unbalanced short circuits. Equivalent electric models during short circuits.
Keywords

Student Assessment
Description
There are written examinations including the theoretical part of course and the ability to solve problems. The students must also submit a small project based on the measurements taken during the lab exercise.
The written part of examination has a weight of 80% in the final grade of the course. The rest 20% stems from the lab exercise.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Extended Answer Questions (Summative)
- Written Exam with Problem Solving (Summative)
- Labortatory Assignment (Summative)
